Breeding purebred dogs is not a cheap pleasure. Here are some tips on how to properly feed and maintain pregnant dogs of small breeds.
Instructions
Step 1
The most important thing is that the dog is in a calm state and not undergo any worries.
Step 2
Be in the fresh air more often. Avoid sudden movements, jumping. Do not force people to descend or climb stairs. In order not to overwork her, it is better to pick her up.
Step 3
Wipe the stomach and paws with a weak solution of potassium permanganate.
Step 4
In the first half of pregnancy, feed, as usual, 2 times a day, only increasing the diet for meat and milk. In the second half - feed 3 times a day and in no case prevent starvation. Feed more often with cottage cheese and liver. Bones cannot be given. Avoid baked goods as breathing becomes difficult and puts pressure on the uterus.
Step 5
You need plenty of drink and, of course, vitamins. Pay more attention and care. Get everything you need for childbirth (box, clean diapers, scissors, alcohol and iodine). Of course, if finances allow, it is better to show the veterinarian before giving birth and do an ultrasound scan in order to understand how many puppies to be prepared for. Small dogs do not give birth on their own - they have to help and be sure to be present during childbirth.
